Flippant 4:13

True, “I can do all things” can describe our race,
Not 5Ks we enter, but trials we face.
‘Cuz setting a PR is not what he meant;
In plenty and want, about being content.

With Christ as our portion, there’s nothing we lack;
The Son in our face means the wind at our back.
He’s not an enhancer, nor a wonder drug,
But that doesn’t fit on the old coffee mug.

(from Philippians 4:13)
